It is waaaay too easy to read something on here and think "hey maybe I have that" and create the symptoms in your head.
Just a friendly heads up:
You will hear weird noises you never heard before in other cars - RWD + Boxer engine + almost no sound proofing = strange sounds
You will probably have a noisy fuel pump (crickets) - There is no guaranteed way to change (not "fix" but change it isn't broken) this no matter what some may say. There are things you can try but there is no one method that works for all. Do not take the time or effort to get the pump changed.
Much (if not most) of the issues and Service bulletins that you may read about here were only applicable to early to mid production 13s. These problems were fixed way before yours or even my car (14) were built.
If you do think you have an issue check and see if it is already on here someplace - If you can't find anything then ask, but remember that "my car makes a swooshing noise when I start it" doesn't mean squat to anybody. Also keep in mind that there are a lot of experts on here but there are also a pile of people that think they are but are full of crap! Verify anything you find out through another source or be very sure you trust what you are told.
And above all remember it is a car and as sad as it can be shit happens!

Thanks a lot Tcoat, all the info you gave me was very informative , yes this is my first boxer so I'm new to the flat engine layout. I love this car so much I just don't want it to break on me. I will put more km on mines and see if I notice anything unusual if I do I will report back? For now I will just enjoy it until then. Thanks again Tcoat hope to see you around
